Original price of $27.95 (!) marked on inside and outside of her box.
She is from a smoke-free home.
This doll was made in the early 1950's after "Tiny Tears" dolls were first sold. This is no doubt the reason for this doll having tear holes.
There is a faint scratch on her left cheek, an some tiny cracks in her ears. Joints of arms and legs somewhat loose, but she can still sit alone (see picture). There is a flat spot on her fanny and the button that allows her to wet her diaper is melted on one side (the result of 70 years laying in her box?)
This actual doll is pictured in Barbara Hilliker's book "Effanbee DyDee - The complete Collector's Book" on page 84, in fact, 3/4 of the dolls pictured in that book are from my collection.
